Like a slumbering dragon, or maybe just a really sleep-deprived hamster, queerness can spend quite a long time in hibernation before finally jolting awake. That awakening process doesn’t happen all at once; sometimes it takes a bit of well-timed queer media to really rub the crusties off a sleeper’s peepers and get them to open their eyes for good. Like a triple espresso shot, these characters woke up internal queerness sleeping within generations of TV viewers. No two gay awakenings are the same. Some require an alt baddie bisexual, or a musclebound anti-hero, or maybe a genderqueer agent of chaos. Whatever your young, queer heart desired, odds are one of these characters fit the description, and now, here you are.
